The Mars Volta. Frances The Mute. Original 2005 1st Pressing Vinyl Triple LP.


Vinyl closer to NM but I grade super conservatively. Played a couple of times from new one owner. Inner sleeves are perfect. Only flaw is the sides which have some light wear but lovely condition overall a solid 8.5-9 out of 10.


Any questions or sensible offers please ask.


Thanks!


Tom
